I'm not a fan of Christian Bale as Batman just because of his stupid voice, but this mess just pisses me off.First Deadpool, then Green Lantern, now he's BATMAN?? I'd support him as the Flash...But NOT this...

The date on that article is April 1, 2012...
April Fools. Ryan Reynolds will not be the new Batman.

I sure hope there's a new Robin, too! Maybe they can get Schumacher back!
Eh. I love Duncan Jones's work and I love watching RR when he's in his element, but he just doesn't have the gravitas for the role, IMO. (I felt the same way about Edward Norton in the last Hulk movie.)
Overall, though, the whole immediate reboot idea is ridiculous, but SO modern Hollywood. Heck, why not have three directors make three different Batman movies at the same time?
Edit...
Oh. Hmm. I don't generally check dates on Internet articles either.cocomonk22 said:
This changes nothing!
please tell me you really didn't believe that they would announce a reboot before Dark Knight rises even comes out?
Oh man, you guys are spoiling the fun.
THIS IS INSANE HOLLYWEIRD MUST BE STOPPED! together WE CAN DO IT!!! Start writing your angry letters, people!!
c'mon...anyone?
Well, they did actually announce the reboot. And long before April 1st. They announced it around the time that they announced TDKR would be Bale and Nolan's last. No info other than that they would be rebooting, and I think they said it would NOT be in continuity for a Justice League movie, though that logic just doesn't make any sense. Also, last weekend may have changed that.dbalschi said:
Yeah, I think after the Avengers huge haul Warner Bros. is most certainly looking at developing a Justice League movie.......and they will rush it out and it will suck. I have no faith in Warner Bros. when it comes to handling their own properties.
Well, if they do a JLA flick, it will be cool to see Ryan Reynolds playing both Batman and Green Lantern. Maybe they'll recast Hal Jordan due to the overt failure of an otherwise guaranteed franchise. Moving Reynolds over to their only current successful hero franchise makes perfect sense. Alternatively, they could cast him in every JLA role, even the women, I mean why mess with the formula.
Doc
P.S. In the spirit of the thread, Reynolds . . . best Deadpool ever!
Doesn't Justice League have really crappy offshoots of other super heroes? Like Martian man-eater, plastic man (melts when it gets too hot)...
No thanks.
It cannot be a true Justice League film without the Wonder Twins.
Lolz
Screw Batman. I want Wonder Woman.
Not the Desert Eagle Basta** Wonder Woman, but THE Wonder Woman!
I vote Ryan Reynolds for all DC superheroes. In fact if they make a Justice League movie, RR should play all the roles, including Wonder Woman.
(now to sit back and wait for someone to make that photo happen if I don't do it myself)
It's almost a given that Warner will reboot Batman after TDKR, they'd have a really hard time finding a replacement for Nolan and I think that Christian Bale will also be leaving after TDKR and I don't think that Warner wants a repeat of the previous Batman franchise with different directors each doing their own take on Batman, and different actors playing Batman. Plus, with the huge success of The Avengers Warner has to be thinking of rebooting Batman to fit into a possible Justice League movie which wouldn't work very well with the Nolanverse Batman.
no one has considered that if dkr is a huge hit like the previous movie, im sure warner could throw lots of cash to nolan/bale. anything is possible.
Although I would like WB to keep the series going with just a different director, I wonder if the way Nolan is concluding his trilogy is forcing a reboot of the series.
I like Jones' films and I'd love to see what he could potentially do with the franchise, but I'm not really a fan of Reynolds. Doesn't seem brooding enough to be Bats. We don't need another Clooney-style Batman...
Care to revisit the question in light of new information?dbalschi said:
if wb has any bits of smart, looking at current cinema, they can not not do a justice league movie with the different pre movies for every character. its just too obvious what will bring in money
classic justice league that is, not all the million members
The winds were kicking up this one!!
Well when they do reboot Batman I'll have my fingers crossed for an Arkham City type suitalong with some mention (atleast an easter egg) that there are some other heroes in the DC universe.
Here's the article I was thinking of....
